It's A Subatomic World, After All...

My face is well on the mend, thanks for asking.

Who else is guilty of letting your job completely takeover your life?
I have not been good about blogging, and I have the National Nano Engineering Conference 2008 to thank for that.

What's that? Never heard of the NNEC, you say? Well allow me to elaborate:

The National Nano Engineering Conference 2008 (NNEC) is the premier event focused on current and future developments in engineering innovations at the nanoscale, as well as the commercialization of nanotechnology. The NNEC returns to Boston on November 12th-13th at the Boston Colonnade Hotel. Click here.

The 2008 NNEC will include technical presentations and exhibits from companies leading the nanotechnology industry and will feature concurrent sessions covering Aerospace & Defense, Bio/Medical, Electronics, Advanced Materials Business, Energy & Environment.

The Nano50 Awards will also be presented during the conference, showcasing the top innovators, technologies and products in nanotechnology. This year's dinner presentation will be given by Cherry Murray, Principal Associate Director for Science and Technology, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Dr. Murray will discuss how the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Lab, the world’s most powerful laser, will be commissioned in spring 2009.

What Do You Call A Bunch of Lawyers at the Bottom of the Ocean?

A good start.

But seriously folks, I've been considering suing the city for what happened to my face.

I know, gorgeous aren't I? Luckily I only looked like that for a week. I'm pretty much back to normal, except now I look like I had a fight with a tanning lamp and it won.

Back to finding a lawyer, I called up The Cochrane Firm. I got there a little early since I am perpetually on time. They saw me 20 minutes late in my 60 minute lunch hour. I was already irritated. Then this perfect fucking nobody bitch seats me in a conference room and starts launching questions at me without even so much as bothering to introduce herself.

Even more annoying, many of the questions she posed were asked by her colleague the night before. She then asked me if I were in school. I replied that no, I was 31, to which she rudely responded, "Just because you're 31, doesn't mean your not in school." I told her I had heard enough at that point and left.

Turns out she was only some dumb assistant, OBVI.
